Just a Thought

seminole:
I wanted nothing to do with God. My parents dragged me around to different places because my Dad was a singer. The churches we went to, I just hated. I associated God with all those things I hated instead of who God really is. Making a long story short, I started drinking at 12, drugs by 14 and it was on. I was a good athelete. I didn't have to do well in school. They had other, smarter kids to do our work for us so we could keep playing. I had scholarships and offers to a few different colleges to play college ball. The morning finally came about 2:00 a.m. , after the bar closed when I found myself sitting on the sidewalk with no way home. I hated the life I had put myself in. That was the start of the turning point to my life. It wasn't easy and it took a few years to finally stop what I was doing to myself. I had lost everything good I had going on. After about 5 years of up-hill struggles I kicked the substance abuse. A couple of years later I felt that Jesus was dealing with my heart. The fire and brimstone stuff didn't get me but the unconditional love of Jesus did get me and I was glad to get got! I have memory problems to this day from concusions in football but also from the drug use. I will live with that the rest of my days but the main thing is now I will LIVE!
